FANG HER CREEK NURSERY. 27 Brunswick. The largest black fig known ; one of the earliest figs, ripening in June, and producing successive crops up to September; meat rather coarse ; not as sweet as the Mission. Brown Turkey. This is a very large fig; color violet brown ; the earliest large fig in the San Francisco market. Mission. The large black fig most common in California. It is a good grower and bearer, but not a fine fig in other respects ; we believe this fig to be identical with the Bor- deaux fig of the French. San Pedro. (Fico di San Pietro^ Apple Fig.) The largest and handsomest fig in existence, with excellent flavor and sweetness ; skin golden yellow, shaded green ; very palata- ble. Asa table fig this one is unequaled, and will exclude all other figs from the market ; bears early and profusely. We have had ripe figs on trees one year after planting ; fruit ripens in WHITE ADRIATIC. White Adriatic. Introduced from Sicily, and considered to be the finest fig so far pro- duced in California. When grown on drained soil it is as superior to the common figs grown, as the Bartlett Pear is to the wild pear, and is perhaps the most profitable of all fruits. The fruit is very large ; the skin is thin like tissue paper, and of a greenish yellow color ; the pulp is of a carnation red color ; is exceedingly aromatic. This tree needs well drained soil and dry ground to produce good fruit. On moist ground the fruit produced is insipid—in fact, is worthless for both table and drying.
